Vibration Control of Active Structures: An Introduction
Preumont, Andre / Preumont, Andri / Preumont, A.
This book consists of 14 chapters. Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the dynamics of active structures, the open loop transfer functions are derived from the constitutive equations, the discussion includes active trusses with piezoelectric struts, and beams and shells with embedded laminar piezoelectric actuators and sensors. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the virtues of collocated actuator/sensor configurations and how they can be exploited to develo...
